Your Employee Handbook, Intro

You can protect your business against damages and liability against employee lawsuits, increase communication with employees, and have a proven system for hiring, termination, and disciplinary action by providing and implemening clear, written policies covering the rights and responsibilities of your employees. Employment attorneys and human resources experts will tell you how vital an employee handbook is to your business. So much so, that even the smallest company should protect itself with an attorney-drafted employee handbook.

A major concern of employers, large and small, are lawsuits by current or former employees. The number of lawsuits in the past decade alone based on sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination has massively increased. These actions against your business — or even the threat of legal action — can put a substantial financial burden on your company, or even put you in bankruptcy. The average dollar award to employees against employers $125,000-$300,000 range. Some awards are more than one million dollars.

An employee handbook can reduce your chances of liability from a lawsuits, and provide information about company policies to your employees. When this information is in a clearly understandable format, employees can “follow the rules,” and you can prevent future problems and misunderstandings.

The attorney-reviewed language in Your Empoyee Handbook is designed to be clear, comprehensive and effective in avoiding workplace disputes and lawsuits.

Your Employee Handbook also increase the efficiency of your employees in performing their duties, and shortens the training period that most new employees go through. Studies show that when employees have clear guidelines and policies to follow, the chances of staying with their employer increases substantially and the chances of the employer being sued are reduced.

Your Employee Handbook is the only published employee handbook that provides realistic, practical policies and procedures that you can immediately implement without a lot of time-consuming set-up, legalistic hassle, or resentment and resistance from your employees.
